Anchored in the Past, Sailing into the Future

USITT Sightlines: "At the time, I had no clue what USITT stood for or even why I was going. As far as I was concerned, it could have been United Steel in Theatre Today. Something was mentioned about a new theatre with flexible staging and a session on MIG welding. I was simply being led by my graduate mentor and told this would be good experience for me. He never said that this trek would last over 30 years and include becoming Chair of the Southeast Regional Section and eventually becoming President of an organization I could not even tell my wife what the acronym, USITT, stood for."
